The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho is perhaps one of the most interesting books I have read. It's amazingly mesmerizing writing style that is a kind of hypnotized me. The title was first published in Portugese. Later it was translated to English. The translation is superbly done. The story of this fabulous book goes like this. A boy from Andalusia is the protagonist of the story. This boy and his adventurous journey African desert in hunt of treasures hidden in the pyramids of Egypt is the main theme. I think this book relates quite easily to every human being in this universe. We all have goals in life and by crossing all kind of hurdles we always try to achieve our goals.
So if I look at the story The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho in that context, it gives me a great learning that whatever problems come in my way while heading towards my goals, I should never give up and instead give my best to achieve the goals. I find the book as a bundle of learning. It tells us to firmly believe our dreams and follow them in a fearless manner and full conviction to tackle the risks, whatsoever, that come in the way. While everyone sets goals in life, but it's very few who gather courage and inner strength to follow your dreams. The most beautiful line in the book is when you follow your dreams, the whole universe conspires to back you too help.
At one instance the author indicates clearly that it is easier to give up to risks and hurdles that come up in your way and accept defeat while moving towards your goals because it's always easier to run away from the zone of discomfort to get back to our comfort zones. Likewise, there are many such instances of learning in The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
